“Rae is gifted in her way of communicating and emphasis on bringing people together in a way that feels safe. Rae is especially skilled at working with groups to communicate in ways that work through the hard stuff and allows for vulnerability, fear, and hard questions to surface and to be worked through rather than ignored or avoided. In our culture we have been taught that depth is danger and Rae has a way of making depth an exploration of belonging, safety and transformation.”
~ M.S. – Marshfield, Vermont
“Rae is a very talented and empathetic practitioner of reiki (among other offerings including amazing herbal remedies sold at the Plainfield Farmers Market and direct at Grandmother Cherry Sanctuary). I really need some centering in my life with all the chaos in the world right now and I’m grateful for Rae’s support in this regard. We are lucky to have a woman of her talents in our community – I absolutely recommend working with her!”
~ Monica Matt White, Plainfield, Vermont
“I learned about EmpowR Transformation when I was seeking professional development in the area of group facilitation and communication. Working with Rae helped me to understand how white supremacist culture shapes so many of my professional and personal behaviors and perspectives, despite the decades of time I’ve spent as a racial justice advocate.”
~ Liz C., Burlington, Vermont
“Rae and I served together on the Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) board of directors 2017-2020. I began to engage with Rae more deeply when she facilitated meaningful discussions among board members, fostering a sense of inquiry for myself and others. Through conversations with Rae, I became keenly aware of the strong link between board service, societal biases, and wealth and power dynamics. I then worked with Rae in several EmpowR Transformation sessions to guide my questioning of societal norms and learned behaviors, helping me to better understand myself and explore my place in this dynamic world. Working with Rae provided me with consistent engagement in thoughtful experiences that stimulate reflection, insight and growth.”
